This was a first, don't know much about them other than flipping the switch. But is easy enough to install, would have been easier if I had not solicited the help of a man who refused to read the instructions. I had to instruct his every move. =/
The the sink stopper was cracked so I have to use the old one, didn't get around to requesting a replacement.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not as quiet or thorough as the higher end models but a good value. I'm replacing the same model that we had for 7 years, so that's pretty good performance.

I bought the badger 9 at the local home depot; my 20 year old 1/2 HP Kitchen Aid began leaking so I needed one quick. So far, excellent. I would recommend looking online for the Waste King 8000, 1 HP and generally less expensive with Lifetime warranty if you don't need an immediate install.
Yes, I recommend this product.

So far so good. After 10 years of abuse from my wife grinding egg shells, spoons and what else fell into the disposal I replaced my 1/2 hp with the 3/4hp unit.
Since it was the 1/2 badger it was a quick deinstall and reinstall in the same connection.
Wife is happy, so I am happy.

I totally agree with JuliaH ad CCCJR. I purchased this product mid-2010. The bottom of my unit rusted during the first year of use. While I was checking on the model # of my unit in order to claim for my warranty today, January 5, 2012, I discovered it has been leaking for a while. These problems occurred within 1.5 years - sooner than what JuliaH said. I wish I had checked on customer reviews before I had this product installed.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Just purchased this model, so my feedback is based on first impressions.
Very easy to assemble and install. It took all of 20 minutes to put in place. No leaks.
However, this is not the most quiet disposal. In fact I think it's louder than the one I just replaced. At 3/4 HP versus the old 1/3 HP I suspect that may play a role in the decibles. As long as it can handle my wife's demand for putting things down the disposal instead of the trash I hope to get another 5 - 8 years out of it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a good solid motor. The Plastic housing cracked in many places after 3 years. I didn`t find the cracks until the warranty ran out. If I could just replaced the housing, it would have been great.

This disposer is probably more (power, etc.) than we need, but I really wanted more power rather than less - I think it should last for many years and it is extremely quiet.

this was pretty much a straight replacement of my existing disposal, with the exception that I went from 1/2 HP to the 3/4 HP. The disposal that was replaced was also a Badger brand, and was about 4 yrs old. It developed a small crack in the housing and began leaking water. Hopefully the replacement will last a bit longer. Installation was fairly easy - completed in about 25 min.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It does the job and so easy to get one from local home depot or even Lowe's, but after the 3 year warranty, it is almost guaranteed that it will break. Usually it's the bottom of the unit that will start to rust and leak out brownish water.. We will try out Wast King Food Waste Disposer from amazon and see if that one is more durable.. The waste king seems to have great review on amazon

I was replacing a Badger 5 with this, and figured it would be a simple swap out. However, the outlet fitting is different, so I would have had to do a little PVC pipe fitting, which I was to lazy to do, so I ended up letting the plumber take care of it. Seems pretty quiet and working fine so far! I didn't like that Home Depot shipped it in the box it would be on the shelf in, which came kind of bashed in (i.e. I don't think the box is intended for shipping outside of some other container), but fortunately there was no real damage to the unit.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Unless you're willing to unexpectedly have a puddle of water ruining your cabinet bottoms and possibly the floor underneath, do not buy a Badger 1, 5 or 9. They all have the same flimsy constuction up top which will lead to the case eventually cracking and leaking water. A bigger motor just provides more torque for cracking. In addition, the interior will rust out after about 2-3 years and leak water, which of course you will not discover until it is running out the bottom of your cabinet. If your must buy a Badger for ease of replacement, buy the 9, pay for Home Depot's extended warranty and hope they honor it when the disposal fails in 3 years. Better yet, buy another brand they're just as easy to install.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This disposer lasted less than three years. I was wondering why something smelled terribly in the kitchen sink. It turned out that the disposer had been leaking internally to the point where it rusted out the cap holding the AC cord at the bottom of the unit and leaked into the cabinet. The unit was storing the dirty water in it and was smelling up the sink!
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have never installed a disposal before and found myself needing to install rwo in one day. I installed the first one in about 25 minutes and the second one in about 15 minutes. It couldn't have been easier and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I would recommend the Insinkerator Badger 9 to anyone needing a disposal.
Yes, I recommend this product.
